Zelensky's Plea To Congress

Tommy and Ben discuss the dire humanitarian situation on the ground in Gaza and the disconnect between the Biden administration's words and deeds when it comes to protecting civilians in Gaza, including the veto of a UN Security resolution calling for a ceasefire and additional weapons sales to Israel. They also discuss Ukrainian President Volodymyr Zelensky's visit to Washington and plea for more security assistance, and republican efforts to tie Ukraine funding to border security, the mess at the UN's climate summit, a territorial dispute between Venezuela and Guyana, a masked mystery candidate running for president in Ghana and Elijah Wood's Russian propaganda blunder on Cameo. Then, Max Fisher joins the show to discuss trends in global elections in 2023, and how 2024 may be the biggest election year in history.
